"You know the official story about pandas — they're cute, but adorably helpless, which is why they're almost extinct. But like a lot of what we hear, that's a lie… The real panda is a secret stud with a taste for flesh and a fearsome bite… They're not against sex, either — they just hate unsexy zoos… But when they're in the wild, male pandas engage in a fierce sexual contest. The winner has sex 40 times in a single afternoon."

Earlier in the show, Carlson criticized competitor CNN for treating Michael Cohen's F.B.I. raid as breaking news, and for cutting short United States Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley's comments about Syria.

He smirked:

"Well, that raid is reportedly connected to the Stormy Daniels story that CNN covered wall-to-wall and of course, Stormy Daniels is way more important than any war with Syria… That's CNN's position."

Yeah, it's only our president's communications with his personal lawyer being seized by the U.S. Attorney as part of a criminal investigation. Nothing to see here!

Of course, several social media users took toTwitter to mock the network for distracting from the Cohen news in favor of a story about horny pandas.

THANK YOU, Tucker Carlson, for keeping us informed tonight about all of the big news. America needs patriots like yourself who are willing to tell the truth, even when it is hard. pic.twitter.com/wk8PzmIohW

Wait, was there a fucking panda bear in the offices of the President's attorney when federal agents came charging in with that warrant? Or is Tucker Carlson the exact opposite of a journalist and his broadcast the Platonic ideal of gibbering insanity? https://t.co/2GloibNl1K
